Contributing to Local Nonprofits, Gaining Valuable Professional Experience
Through collaborative community projects in HNRS 261 and student driven leadership, Honors College Connects students build professional skills while making a real impact in the community beyond Mason.
Honors College Connects develops civic-minded graduates that are well prepared for the workforce. All students enter the HCC program by participating in the HNRS 261 Honors College Connects class. Enacting human-centered design practices, multidisciplinary teams of students support local nonprofits that address a range of social issues impacting the community, including health, social justice, environmental sustainability, and more. Our HNRS 261 students provide community partners valuable insights and services that make an impact.
